"Separation of Church and State!", Yells...wait, who?

So when it's about them getting their books handled by responsible and over-sighted (if I may) public officials, the Catholic church gets its panties all up in a bunch. But when Rev. Richard Ryscavage wants to, "...provide religious coordinators for immigration detention facilities of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security" (from here), which, last I checked was a U.S. Federal government agency, well, that's just fuckin' kool and the gang, baby!

You just have to shake your head in awe of the testicular magnitude of a group who bitches and complains about getting their goddamn books done by a non-priest and then this comes flying out of the article to hit you in the face like the...well, balls of a priest hitting the chin of an alter boy:

It comes at a difficult time for Catholics in the U.S. Northeast. Facing dwindling congregations, shifting demographics and a drain on cash from settling sexual abuse lawsuits, many churches face big strains on their finances and have been forced to close across the region.(emphasis all mine, sugarlumps)

Seriously, does anyone have sympathy for these fuckers? The Catholic church should be taxed to goddamn death solely BECAUSE they raped children for so long. Screw separation of church and state, how about a "you lose all privileges once held in this country, douchebags, for harboring a vast sea of pedophiles in your ranks" tax. I could get behind that.

Things I Doubt: Ray Comfort & Kirk Cameron's ability to put together a decent argument...or a decent sandwich, for that matter; Oprah Winfrey's judgment about anything; Jenny McCarthy's anatomical conformity, by which I mean, I think she has neither a brain nor a heart; Jim Carrey's status as a Canadian - am I allowed to unilaterally decline that?; believers in acupuncture and their ability to accept that it is a fantasy; and the justness of a world where I am not rich for my truly amazing humor but Reality TV "stars" continue to rake in the cash.
